Elektrownia gminna na Wildzie w Poznaniu, Historic power station in Wilda district, Poznań, Poland.
The municipal power station on Wilda represents a late 19th-century industrial complex featuring brick arcade architecture with distinctive green-glazed clinker elements and steel structural components.
Built in 1895 as the third power station in Poznań, this facility served as a primary energy source for the city until 1905 when larger industrial power plants replaced its function.
During the interwar period, the building housed an artistic bronze foundry run by Stanisław Słupczyński, creating sculptures for many Poznań artists and serving as a creative workspace.
Located at Dolna Wilda 87 near Jan Paweł II Park, the renovated complex now functions as a cultural center with galleries, restaurants, and shops accessible to visitors.
The building preserves original mechanical elements and architectural details that represent some of the few remaining examples of late 19th-century power generation technology in Europe.
